Meeting Criss Angel

In my earlier blog, I highlighted that Criss Angel is the most renowned figure in magic. I had been eager to meet him for some time, but he never held meet and greets. Last year, Mindfreak revealed that he was reintroducing meet and greets, and I realized this was my opportunity. When I purchased my ticket, I was extremely excited. I had negative thoughts and was concerned about fainting or embarrassing myself. Below, I will outline some key points about the meet and greet.

Price: The total cost was $500, with an option to pay in 4 installments.

The Instructions: On the day of your show, Planet Hollywood provides you with detailed instructions regarding your arrival time.

Arrival: You are required to be at the Criss Angel Theatre 2 hours before the show begins. The show starts at 7 PM, so you should arrive by 5 PM. At 6:15 PM, you will be taken backstage, escorted by Criss' personal bodyguard.

Encountering the G.O.A.T: What is Criss like? Criss is the friendliest person you could meet. He is both kind and humble, and although I won't disclose our conversation, the experience was invaluable.

Stage: A highlight of the show is the opportunity to take a photo with Tatiana, also known as Tati. This top illusionist gives her best performance, ensuring everyone feels welcome during the show. As the queen of illusions, she consistently delivers an outstanding performance, making you cheer for her throughout. You'll never find a dull moment at the show.

The show: The performance kicks off with a 3-minute introduction focused on Criss. As the music blares, Criss takes the stage to showcase his most iconic illusions. One of my favorite segments is when he escapes from an upside-down straitjacket in just 30 seconds. Another highlight for me is when he engages in a video game battle, with Tatiana displaying her impressive fighting skills. Additionally, Criss dedicates a part of the show to his loved one who has successfully overcome cancer. You'll want to return to his show. He truly is the greatest. Love him or hate him, there's no denying that Criss is the biggest name in magic and the greatest of all time, aka THE G.O.A.T.

A big thank you to the whole cast of Mindfreak and a special shout out to Tati!!
